An evocative view on the River Dart, Devon. This HMS Britannia to the right of the composition started life as HMS Prince of Wales. She was a 121-gun screw-propelled first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on January 25, 1860. The advent of ironclads had made her obsolete before launch, so she was placed in reserve and never fitted for sea. In 1869 she was renamed Britannia and began service as a cadet training ship at Dartmouth, replacing the previous Britannia in that role. She was hulked in September 1909, sold in September 1914, and broken up at Blyth in July 1916. David Law (1831 - 1901), etcher and landscape painter, born in Edinburgh; moved to London in 1850s, one of the founder of the Royal Society of Painters, Etchers, Engravers in 1881. Died in Sussex.

Jo. Greenhill pinx. W. Faithorne Sculp. [c.1672.]
Engraving, sheet 250 x 165mm (9¾ x 6½"). Trimmed and glued to backing sheet.
A portrait of Sir William Davenant (1606-68), poet and playwright, showing his nose severely disfigured by syphilis. Made Poet Laureate by Charles I in 1638, he had to flee to France in 1641 after being found guilty of high treason by Parliament for his participation in the First Army Plot, a Royalist plan to occupy London. He returned to fight in the Civil War until the defeat at Naseby in 1645, after which he returned to France. In exile Charles II appointed him to the symbolic post of treasurer of the colony of Virginia in 1649; in 1650 he was made lieutenant governor of Maryland but was captured at sea by Parliament and sentenced to death. He was reprieved but spent 1651 in the Tower of London before being released. Davenant made much of a personal connection to Shakespeare. His parents owned the Crown Tavern in Oxford, where the Bard often stayed when travelling from London to Stratford-upon-Avon. In some accounts Shakespeare was Davenant's godfather; according to John Aubrey, Davenant even suggested Shakespeare was his real father. This portrait was the frontispiece to his 'Works of Sir William Davenant Kt, Consisting of those which were formerly Printed, and those which he design'd for the Press: Now Published out of the Authors Originall Copies'.

Stipple engraving. 418 x 356mm.
Sir Humphry Davy, 1st Baronet, FRS. Natural philosopher.(17 December 1778 - 29 May 1829), often incorrectly spelled Humphrey, was an esteemed Cornish chemist and physicist. He was born in Penzance, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Sir Humphry revelled in his status, as his lectures gathered many spectators. Davy became well known due to his experiments with the physiological action of some gases, including laughing gas (nitrous oxide) - to which he was addicted, once stating that its properties bestowed all of the benefits of alcohol but was devoid of its flaws. Davy later damaged his eyesight in a laboratory accident with nitrogen trichloride. In 1801 he was nominated professor at the Royal Institution of Great Britain and Fellow of the Royal Society, over which he would later preside.

William Davies (1627-90), a Welsh highwayman holding a man a gunpoint. Aged 64 he was caught and hanged at Salisbury Court (instead of Tyburn, as usual), where he had murdered a butcher, then was hung in chains on Bagshot Heath. Illustration to Captain Charles Johnson's 'General History of the Lives and Adventures of the Most Famous Highwaymen, Murderers, Street-Robbers etc' (1736). The book contains short biographies of both historical and fictitious criminals. It has generally been accepted that Johnson was a pseudonym for another author, although claims that the author was Daniel Defoe have never been proven.
